So at work there is this guy who works over the cubical wall from me. Well one day he sneezed. Ok, cool. I try to be a courteous person, so I naturally said, "Bless you." Well since then I have discovered that he sneezes ALL DAY LONG. Perfect. Now I'm in a personal awkward predicament. See, I really don't want to say "Bless you" all day long... that has to be annoying for him because I know it's starting to get annoying for me but I don't want to be rude either. So I was like... hmm what else could I say when he sneezes; there's always "Gazoontite" (or it's german lineage gesundheit [gəˈzʊnthait]), what else is there?
I googled "What to say when someone sneezes," and it only gave me the two options from above. UNLESS I want to go foreign... then I have some more options:
France: May your hopes and wishes come true!
United Kingdom: God bless you
Spanish speaking countries but not Spain (haha): Salud
Brazil: Saude (Means "Health")
Yugoslavia: Na zdravlje
Netherlands: gezondheid
Yup... that's it!

Who started the lie?!
I know it is sad but I only just found out about Nutella about two years ago... don't feel sorry for me... it's ok :) I have made up for the lost time.
Well, for some reason I thought it was healthy for you. Why I thought this you may ask, no idea. It was an automatic assumption without really considering the idea. A little while later I heard someone say how fattening Nutella was and at first I was surprised. My outward expression said, "Well, of course. Obviously chocolate (I know it's hazelnut but I consider it chocolate) in any form is not exactly a diet food." I didn't want them to think I was stupid. But my inward thoughts were, "WHAT?! For realsies?!" Aw man! Makes sense... i sure feel silly."
Since this moment of finding out Nutella was fattening I have heard of several other people (all girls... lets be honest, only us girls would choose to believe chocolate has the potential of being heathy/non-fattening... sorry to stereotype.) who were surprised to find out Nutella was fattening because they were under the impression that it was not. One friend was even eating out of the jar with a spoon when her dreams shattered as her sister told her the truth of the delicious treat. (Confession: I still do that! The facts will not stop me)
SO! I am convinced that somewhere, somehow SOMEONE started a subliminal message that Nutella was healthy! So I want to know! Who started the lie?! Because you got A LOT of people! Props to you, haha!

My Finger Nails Didn't Grow at All!
"I knew something was wrong. My finger nails didn't grow at all this week!" -Pheobe Buffet
If you didn't know, (and if you didn't know, then you don't know me at all... sad day for the both of us) I love the TV show FRIENDS. And umm... love is an understatement. I own every season of FRIENDS on DVD and I often will quote the show. I even go as far as relating my life moments to FRIENDS... pretty sad actually... oh well.
Well I had one of those moments this week: See there's this FREINDS episode where Rachel and Ross are breaking up and it's really sad and traumatic and Pheobe says, "Oh this is bad. Though, I knew something was wrong, my fingernails didn't grow at all this week!" WELL I had a bit of a stressful week and I was at work and I looked at my fingers and thought, "Weird, my nails are really short. When did I last clip them because I feel like it's been forever." Then this quote of Pheobe's popped into my head! Haha, maybe Pheobe knows something about stress and tension and maybe it really DOES affect the growing capacity of your nails.
Now there's something to think about :) One of my readers should go and research it and comment on this post

Don't Read your "Stats" Tab
To my fellow blogspotters out there:
WARNING: DO NOT READ YOUR STATS TAB
Reading the stats tab in your account information can be depressing and lead to a realization of patheticness. It will show you that you are rarley read which means the majority of the time you are (whispered voice:) talking but really typing to yourself; and all of cyberspace is there or really not there to witness it.
This realization of patheticness may lead to depression, medication, crazy outbursts, eye twitches, continued sessions of talking/typing to yourself, creation of imaginary friends, crazy outbursts of laughter, or DEATH!
You have to make a choice: 1) keep blogging... who cares what people think.
2) Keep blogging with bitter desperation for readers
3) Shut-her-down
or 4) DEATH!
I'm going with 1... it's still fun! and not pathetic
p.s. Disclosure: This is just for laughs... not a pitty party :)

Yeah! What DO you remember?
So the other night I was leaving a meeting for a non-profit organization fundraiser event that I had been at with a friend and her boyfriend. As we were leaving, Mr. Boyfriend invited us to his house for some hot chocolate. I declined and said, "No you two should just go." (Thought I'd let them have some time together) But they both protested so I went in for some hot chocolate.
While we were eating (haha, I mean drinking) hot chocolate his mom came and joined us. Such a sweet lady. Well (not sure how it came up) she said something about how she avoids pain at all cost (Funny, me too) except for child birth (Haven't done that one yet). So then we’re on the topic of child birth. (Oh? ok then)
She proceeds to tell us graphic details about each of her children’s births! Bahahahaha! How my friend and I were able to keep straight faces is beYOND me! She even used phrases like, “When the placenta came out” and “I lost a tube with that one.” LOL! (Not laughing that she lost a tube, laughing at the awkwardness) THEN she turns to me, NOT MY FRIEND who her son is dating but me, and asks if my mother has ever talked to me about my birth and what she has told me AND MY FRIEND SAYS, “Yeah Amy! What DO you remember about your birth!?” LSHMAB-BIRD (Laughed so hard my appendix burst-but it really didn't)
SUCH a sweet lady… funniest/most awkward conversation ever!

So Funny, So True
Last night my sister and her family were at our house and we were all just hanging out, chatting and eating food. I was sitting at the kitchen counter and I was playing "Words with friends" on my phone. Well, I asked out loud, "How do you spell 'Triad'?" and before anyone could respond my niece asks, "Shouldn't a grown up know how to spell?!" I laughed SOOOOO hard! It is so true... I should know how to spell.... but hence this is my life's trial. Thank goodness for autotext and spellcheck but even then I seem to make a fool of myself at times... oh wellsies I'm ok with it!
